CASE STUDY
A major bus operator needed robust infrastructure to support its transition to EVs, but faced significant hurdles when their contractor failed mid-project.
Project rescue
Fleet electrification demands more than just charging points. The tour operator learned that successful EV adoption requires integrated infrastructure expertise when their project hit major obstacles.
The operator was left stranded when their contractor collapsed, jeopardising their electrification timeline. They needed a provider capable of both complex electrical infrastructure to support their EV transition, so Stark was appointed to deliver and complete the project.
